These are very important in healthy diets as they are not broken down into glucose. The glucose molecules that make up NSP are different to the starch/glucogen glucose due to the position of an OH - group. Cellulose is the most common NSP. It is made up of 1000`s of B- Glucose which enyzmes cannot separate.

Class of compounds formed of many simple sugars joined together?

Polysaccharides are compounds formed by linking many simple sugar molecules, such as glucose, together through glycosidic bonds. They serve as energy storage in plants (e.g., starch) and animals (e.g., glycogen), as well as provide structural support (e.g., cellulose in plant cell walls and chitin in fungal cell walls).

They could be asking what the cell uses the element for, for instance Magnesium is used in making chlorophyll, Iron is used in making haemoglobin, hydrogen is often used in conjunction with other molecules to transport high energy electrons, Phosphorus is used in Nucleotide-Phosphates and Carbon is used to store energy in the form of polysacharides, make structures such as the hydrophobic region of a phospholipid and makes up most of a proteins mass. I hope this answers your question.
